I tried to hold on, but it slipped away, Your heart beat strong while mine lost its way. You gave your all, every ounce of your soul, And I let you down, I couldn't take hold. (Chorus) There’s nothing you could say To make me stay that day, My heart was never aligned. You gave love without a limit, But my heart just wasn’t in it. It’s not your fault, it’s mine— You loved me, and I didn’t. I saw the tears you tried to hide, I heard the silent screams inside. I wanted to be the one for you, But the truth's too strong to misconstrue. (Chorus) There’s nothing you could say To make me stay that day, My heart was never aligned. You gave love without a limit, But my heart just wasn’t in it. It’s not your fault, it’s mine— You loved me, and I didn’t. (Bridge) It wasn’t lack of beauty, it wasn’t lack of grace, It’s the timing of our story, it’s the wrong place. You deserve someone who sees all that you are, Someone who fights for you under every star. (Final Chorus) There’s nothing I can say To make the pain go away, But I hope you’ll find your light. Someone to love you with conviction, Not a shadow of contradiction. It’s not your fault, it’s mine— You loved me, and I didn’t.
